Woman hit by vehicle in Dartmouth, but she’s the one facing charges

A woman will face charges after she was struck by a vehicle while crossing a Dartmouth street on Saturday morning.

The 38-year-old woman was trying to catch a bus when she crossed against a red light at the corner of Primrose Street and Victoria Road at about 11:40 a.m., said Halifax Regional Police Sgt. Paul Robertson. A car struck her in the intersection, and her face was scraped in the collision. She was taken to hospital as a precaution to be examined for head injuries, but her injuries are not believed to be serious, police said.

Robertson said the woman will be charged with moving into the path of a vehicle when it is impractical for the vehicle to stop.
